This report examines gender differences in the students' academic performance, persistence in chemical engineering, and attitudes toward their education and themselves. The women in the study on average enteredcehmical engineering with credentials equal to or better than those of the men, but exhibited an erosion relative to the men in both academic performanceand confidence as they progressed through the curriculum. Possible causes of the observed disparities are suggested and remedial measures are proposed.
